Catch It Story Recount

On a hot Sahara day a group of meerkats were sleeping inside a very comfy tunnel. They were sleeping on top of each other.

“Yawns”, “thud”.
Ralphy fell asleep while waking up. Ralphy looked out of the tunnel and he saw two of his friends. The meerkats walked to a tree that had one fruit on it then they all climbed it, they touched the fruit one by one and slid down a branch to get down. The meerkats were staring at the fruit then they moved their body to side to side. “Swosh!” a big vulture came flying in, he landed on a branch and all the meerkats were hiding.
All the meerkats hid inside their tunnels underground, the big vulture was looking around. Then he laughed, he saw the fruit, he carefully shifted to get the fruit and “Snatch!” he flew low on the ground with the fruit. The meerkats were shocked, they started to chase the vulture down with speed, as the vulture looked behind him he saw all the meerkats chasing him. Ralphy jumped to grab the vultures leg then the meerkats grabbed onto each others leg. As the vulture flew up, the meerkats grabbed on tighter then suddenly they all fell with the fruit, but they didn’t hit the floor just yet! They worked together and tried to get the fruit as far as they possible. “Wosh”, the fruit came gliding down. The meerkats went on the vulture’s back and manage to get the fruit back. But when the meerkats jumped to a tree then to the sand the vulture hit the wall so hard that it cracked.

The meerkats started passing the fruit around like rugby, when they saw two trees together they kicked the fruit over and cheered but the fruit broke. They were so shocked and probably disappointed.

Spring Narrative

As I'm walking, I can smell the fresh spring air flying through my nose. I walk down a path full of colourful flowers and there, I saw a beautiful blossom tree. As the days go by the grass gets greener and greener.

Insects come out of their homes annoying people with their pesky noise. 

Pollinators such as bees and butterflies come out more active in spring, they make honey for us all. 

Baby animals are mostly born in spring because it is hot and there are more places to hide the babies from predators.

In spring lots of  rainbows appear and days are longer which means I can spend more time with my family. 

Spring is a relaxing season and exciting. 

In that flowery season there are lots of things to play with outside. As my siblings and I go back home looking at the sunset and riding our bikes we thought of all the fun we had today in the park.

Acrostic Poem

Sun shines above blooming flowers.

Pollinators such as bees and butterflies come out more active in spring.

Rest and watch as the flowers bloom beautifully. Watch them bloom as the days past.

Insects come out of their homes annoying people with their pesky noise.

Now that it is spring the sun begins to shine, hotter and hotter it gets now it is time to sweat. 

Green grass shifts from side to side as the wind calmly pushes it. 

The sons of Ma'afu story recount

The start of the story started like any other stories.

There was a chief named Ma’afu and he had two sons that were very naughty, the two sons were named were Ma’futoka and Ma’fulele.

The two sons were always getting into trouble because they threw their spears around without being careful with other people.

One time it landed right next to a person, the other time it landed on a man’s leg and broke it, the people were truly angry but the chief loved his two sons and he would always make excuses when his sons get into trouble.

The boys thought that they would use their father as a target but when the people saw what they were up to, the villagers immediately shouted “HEY WHAT ARE YOU BOYS DOING?!”, “Why are you throwing spears at your father?”, “You have no respect”, the boys replied: “we weren’t trying to hit him we were trying to get the spear as close as possible”, “But what if you actually hit him, then we won’t have a chief”, the Villagers shouted, the boys didn’t really think of that, they wanted to apologise so they told the whole village they would do anything to say sorry.

The people told the chief that they will have to go fetch water from Atavahea, the chief was worried about his sons because he knew that a big duck lived there, but a good chief listens to his people.

When the boys got to the waterhole they were terrified but they did as they were told, as they were about to go the big duck attacked out of nowhere, the boys fought with all their might until they defeated the big duck. The two boys went home thinking they would feed the whole village but when they returned the villagers were not happy, the villagers started to shout “why are they happy”, “they are not even sorry, send them to Muihatafa to fetch some water at the bottom of the pool, the chief was even more terrified but he agreed.

When the boys got the waterhole they were terrified but they knew that they had to do it, as soon as they swam at the bottom of the pool a massive triggerfish appeared and started to attack, the boys worked together, Ma’afutoka put his hands on the fish’s gills and that’s how they stopped the massive triggerfish, the boys were glad they weren’t hurt but when they returned the villagers got scared and shouted “they killed both of the most dangerous creatures in our island”, “we are not safe with them anymore”, the villagers were terrified so the chief sent his sons to live somewhere far away.

The two sons were seen in the night because they went to live in the stars, where they saw their father and the villagers.
